Poor baby...wasting away!
 

Wasting away? Maybe in Margaritaville, but not here!!!

Gizmo went for his shots this morning and he has gone from 2.25 lbs to 3.25 lbs. in a little over three weeks!!

Vet said he is very healthy and active, so not to worry. I guess we just keep on doing what we're doing. :):D

That's a great report :party: .
It's wonderful to hear a good report on a baby. He's "The Man".

Yippie Gizmo........;) Such a cute lil man :D

LOL.......From one Jimmy Buffet fan to another maybe Gizmo has had two many cheeseburgers in Paradise.:p

Yep...maybe we don't need to worry so much about hypoglycemia now? I think we'll cut back on the snacks and just keep him on the Innova Puppy dry since he eats that so well.

Yay! What a big, growing boy! :D

Yeah, that must be a good feeling! You know you're doing it right! :D

ONLY because of all of the great advice I've gotten from all of you wonderful, caring YorkieTalkers!!! Thank you all!

Well how bout this lil stat on Diggy

9 weeks~ 1.1 pounds
12 weeks~2.2 pounds
15 weeks~3.1 pounds

Sounds like we have similar little chow hounds!!! Glad to hear your baby is "porkin up" Im kinda hoping Diggy is a bigger boy....:D But odds are with having 3 of his sisters in the family that are 4.5, 4.11, and 7 and he has the same parents....He wont be that big....I am kinda wanting a teapot!!! They are toooooo cute!

OmG I just read yours was hypo too??? I think thats why Diggy is gaining so fast too....he had seizures from hypo so I lterally got up in the middle of the night to feed. Im so happy your baby is gaining....

So your going to relax a lil now on the hypo??? I have been wondering when I should too. Its just so scary cuz at 12 weeks with the big weight gain I relaxed a bit....and that very night he played really hard and didnt wanna eat much...I gave nutrical and he had a seizure the next morning...so I am back on the paranoia train~

If he ever turns down Innova...Diggy like a food for a week then we have to switch...he loves Chicken Soup and Evanger all life stages. he also welcomes Wellness......I asked for samples from the companies and have them all on hand encase he snubs again....How old is your baby now??

Me too they all helped soooooo much YT'ers are great!

Fins up. Looks like a bunch of parrotheads here! He's really doing great . If you don't want him I'll take him here in Margarittaville.
p.s. to all you parrotheads-we are going to see the head parrot next tuesday night in Camden NJ. Tailgating in the lot woooohoooooo!

The only time ever, I've had a dog do a little low blood sugar is Bumbie when I've had girls in heat and he won't eat.. I have to force feed him with a paddle pop stick.. He don't fight it but won't eat it on his own.... but as to pups having it or the other adults never delt with it in 20 yrs of breeding. I guess I'm just very blessed...I do free choice feed my dogs so they ar never with out food or water..And tidbits from the table...Attachment 127093

lol we got a hungry hippo too :)

12 weeks 1.4
14 weeks 1.8
17 weeks 2.8

Unless I have the math wrong (which is VERY possible) Gizmo is 13.5 weeks old. He was born on 3/9/07. It does seem like Diggy and Gizzy are following a similar pattern, doesn't it? Gizmo's dad was like 4lbs and his mom was 5 or 6 lbs. The breeder expects him to be around 6 lbs. We'll see, won't we?

We have been lucky and he has NOT had a hypo episode, but I was worried since we brought him home a little too early 10 wks. (Didn't realize it at the time.)

I will keep your food suggestions in mind in case Gizzy gets picky again. Thanks!

ah how did u do it? I wish I could get Bailey to gain a little weight... At almost 8 mo now, she is only 1.9 lbs =/ I worry so much about her!

Oh man! I wanna go too!!!! Texas is just a little too far from NJ. :( Have fun for us then!

And no, you may NOT have Gizmo. LOL You may have my college-age son who just moved back in though!

She is sooo precious though!

Gizmo is a little piggy...he eats almost anything. He looooves carob chip cookies, chicken, peanut butter, the cord to my laptop, dust bunnies....oh, do those have calories? :)

Oh man.......Lucky you....I just got back from Key West in March and didnt see the head ParrotHead there. Have fun!!!!!!!

That's what Gizmo's breeder told us as well, but I read so much about it, I was worried that it would happen.

We free feed also. He always has the Innova Puppy dry available along with fresh water. One tip the breeder gave us was to gradually transition him to city water (which we did). So we didn't have any problems with that.

I have to decline on the son thing-I just was abandoned :D by my 27 year old son. There is food in the refrigerator now.

Now you're just rubbing it in! Going to see the head parrot AND food in the fridge....some people just don't know how lucky they are! :p

I love it when I take mine to the vet and find that they've gained weight! I took Hobbs in yesterday and he's up to 4.2lbs now!

Diggy & Gizzy
 

Okay If Gizzy was born March 9th I have him at 14 weeks 4 days....lol Diggy was born March 6th I have him at 15 weeks today. He looks a lil like Gizzy too....can you poat a bigger pic so we can compare??

Here's Mr. Hoggy Hoggerton :p

OMG...they do look alike!
 

Here are a couple of Gizzy that are bigger photos. They do look quite a bit alike don't they?

Yea Hobbs! What a cute name. :)

Twinkies
 

Okay thats it...Im calling it, Diggy and Gizzy were twins in another yorkie life....lol :aimeeyork :aimeeyork

Twinkies! I love that! LMAO Two to a package. :)

Yep and they always look the exact same lol

LOL hungry hippo! That is too funny, but I think our pups still have a ways to go before that title fits. Yours for sure! I'm just amazed at how quickly they gain the weight at that age. You learn something new every day on YT. :)
